    AOS & EAD question

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    If EAD approval were based on AOS, then that means once one receives the EAD, this person will not receive any RFE for AOS.

     

    However, apparently you can receive RFE for AOS anytime, even after you receive EAD. This means even if there is something wrong with AOS, you still can get EAD.

    I called again today and they explained that had I submitted the AOS and EAD separately (paid for the EAD) then the AOS RFE would not affect the EAD....

     

    I would have my EAD already had they not originally rejected it by mistake but obviously its now all my fault or my husbands fault for not providing the correct tax return information for the AOS.

     

    I will be calling them every day from now on to confirm they have received the AOS RFE. I mean, I know they have it because I put a tracking number on it. But it seems to take them 1-2 weeks to input anything into their system.

    AOS & EAD question

    I filed my AOS and EAD at the same time. I called today to get an update and they said the EAD is on hold because they're waiting on information relating to the AOS which I sent them last week.

     

    Is this correct? Does a delay on your AOS have the ability to stop them working on your EAD? 

     

    I was under the impression the EAD was a separate application. They have everything they need for the EAD but they won't proceed until the AOS is back in progress...

    Help needed writing EAD letter to USCIS

    Hi all,

     

    My EAD was incorrectly rejected by USCIS - see below thread for more details..

     

    I have received a letter from another department asking for evidence to support my request to have the application expedited and I was wondering if anyone had been in this position before and could provide me with some tips on what to write/how to write it.

     

    The bottom line is they incorrectly rejected my EAD due to no payment however as per their instructions the EAD was mailed with the AOS therefore no fee is required. The EAD is now being processed under the normal timeframe however because they made an error they said I am eligible to request for the EAD to be expedited. 

     

    I am extremely frustrated by this entire process and its times like these i wish I had hired a lawyer.

     

    Any help is appreciated.

    This seems to be quite common, and it happened to me as well. Like others have said, you need to file again, send in the whole thing just like you did the first time. But with the i-485 NOA1 this time as proof of pending i-485. I too printed out the instructions from their own website and highlighted the part where it says there's no fee.

    Just like with your case they never sent me any of my supporting docs back, including the passport photos. I had bought 8 photos at Costco (only 10 USD for 8 photos) and I had sent 6 of them with the original AOS package so there were still 2 sitting and waiting to be used, so I guess it was meant to be..

    They sent me back a list of all the USCIS fees too in the rejected package, on that very list it said that if you have a pending i-485 you don't have to pay a fee for the i-765 - I sent that very list back to them as well, with that part highlighted. 

    EDIT; I used a regular personal check in the amount of 1225 USD.

    Thanks for the advice - I sent the package yesterday along with a cover letter and the highlighted fee waiver and a copy of the I-485 proof so fingers crossed they dont reject me again!!

    Keep breathing.. you can do this 😲

    Thank you. I just spoke with a 'manager' aka someone else at USCIS and they basically just said sorry not sorry, we cant control the staff at the lockboxes who do the document checking etc. 

     

    He did suggest writing a cover letter requesting that the application be expedited (as it was their error) and calling once I get the NOA receipt to follow up. Worth a shot.

     

    Also, which USCIS office do I put on the Employment Authorisation form??? I live in Florida and the documents are being mailed to Chicago but is that the office i detail on the form?

    Hi,

     

    I would include all of the evidence you needed to include with it again just to be sure that it will not be rejected again. 

     

    P.S. Your application was rejected, not denied. :) 

    Gosh what an absolute pain in the a$$

     

    Thanks for the information.

     

    I am currently waiting a callback from a manager at USCIS which I know will not solve this problem but it may make me feel a little better to vent and so they become aware of the mistakes the staff are making.

    Omg not this again... it's really annoying when they are just incompetent.

    This started happening to a few ppl here and there earlier this year. They are probably using some less informed staff at the receiving site.

    Resend the i765 with the rejection notice and copy of i485 NOA1. Print out the instructions that say it's free and highlight and put on top and send.

    I'm sorry for your delay.

    Help please!

     

    I mailed my AOS/EAD/AP together with two money orders totalling $1225.

    I received two receipts for the AOS and AP confirming they are being processed but the EAD NOA states my application is denied due to incorrect payment or no payment at all.

     

    Can someone please help me with this? I was under the impression if you filed the EAD with the AOS then no additional payment was required on top of the $1225 as per the K1 guide...

    Note: Applicants filing for this benefit at the same time or while an Adjustment of Status (I-485) application is pending are not required to pay any fee as it was included in the "total cost" of the I-485.

    You should be able to do it without one. Google the county where you're getting married at and they should have a list of documents needed, that way you can make sure you have everything you need

    Thanks! I just googled and found this so it seems its required..
